[00:00.80] JASON MRAZ
[00:11.43] I'm just a curbside prophet
[00:12.67] with my hand in my pocket
[00:14.17] and I'm waiting for my rocket to come
[00:16.54] I'm just a curbside prophet
[00:17.60] with my hand in my pocket
[00:19.17] and I’m waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[00:20.95]
[00:32.92] y'see it started way back in nyc
[00:35.59] when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
[00:38.14] at a west end avenue at 63
[00:41.20] the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96
[00:43.76] with a guitar picked up in the mix
[00:46.51] i committed to the licks like a nickel bag of tricks
[00:48.88] well look at me now
[00:50.67] look at me now
[00:51.61] look at me now, now, now, now
[00:53.73] i'm just a curbside prophet
[00:55.29] with my hand in my pocket
[00:56.79] and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
[00:59.60] i'm just a curbside prophet
[01:00.78] with my hand in my pocket
[01:02.34] and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[01:04.18]
[01:16.10] well you’re never gonna guess
[01:17.41] where i’ve been been been
[01:18.84] and i have no regrets
[01:19.84] that i bet my whole checking account
[01:21.93] because it all amounts to nothing up in the end
[01:25.11] well you can only count on the road again
[01:27.35] we’ll soon be on the radio dial
[01:29.60] and i been payin close attention to the willie nelson style
[01:31.84] like a band of gypsies on the highway while
[01:34.09] i’m one man pushin’ on the california skyline drive
[01:37.21] up the coast I brag and I boast
[01:40.17] i ’m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
[01:42.91] raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
[01:46.03] put my cruise control's on coast
[01:47.92] cuz i'm tourin' around the nation on extended vacation see
[01:50.60] I got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
[01:53.29] i say, "i like your style, crazy pound pup!
[01:55.66] you need a ride?
[01:57.41] come on, well girl, hop in the truck!"
[01:58.78] i'm just a curbside prophet
[02:00.40] with my hand in my pocket
[02:01.77] and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
[02:03.65] i'm just a curbside prophet
[02:05.72] with my hand in my pocket
[02:07.41] and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[02:09.04] i'm just a curbside prophet
[02:10.67] with my hand in my pocket
[02:12.29] and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on
[02:14.78] i'm just a curbside prophet
[02:16.22] with my hand in my pocket
[02:17.66] and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[02:19.74]
[02:20.55] see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
[02:22.43]
[02:23.39] with my guitar here
[02:24.58] i'm ready to play
[02:26.08] and i'm s a sucker for a filly
[02:27.89] got a natural ability I'm geared to freestyle
[02:30.16] look at my flexibility
[02:31.35] dangerous at the mike
[02:32.79] my ghetto hat's cocked right
[02:34.29] the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
[02:37.04] the backstage betties taking more than they can get
[02:39.35] they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"
[02:41.79] hey, hey, something's different in my world today
[02:47.77] well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
[02:52.05]
[02:52.80] hey, hey, something's different in my world today
[02:58.54] they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
[03:03.10]
[03:03.66] i'm just a curbside prophet
[03:06.22] curbside prophet now
[03:09.59] curbside prophet now
[03:11.52]
